Bhunveshwar Kumar destroyed the West Indies batting line-up in the post-lunch session on day 4 to ignite the hopes of an Indian victory at St. Lucia. Twitterati saluted the pacer for his performance, but Ishant Sharma was the victim of all the jokes on the day. Here are the best ones.

In the air and he drops it!

Rohit Sharma looks up at the sun after dropping that catch. Not the best advertisement for the sunglasses he's wearing. #WIvIND #cricket

King of Swing!

If Bhuvi was a Pakistani bowler, there would have been an article explaining that Samuels wicket by now.

Ishant! Listening?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has five wickets on is return. Spearhead & King Ishant Sharma has 5 in the series. #WIvsIND

That would be interesting!

Marlon Samuels would play a yorker of the backfoot if he could...

The numbers are big!

KL Rahul drops catches as much as Kohli scores hundreds, Pujara plays dots and Ishant bowls no balls. #WIvIND

BCCI ? Time for DRS?

If I got a match fee I would be fined 15%, presumably, for rightly criticising that umpiring decision. #cricket #WIvIND

Accuracy is not the key here!

Yo so experienced Ishant Sharma, given second new ball, darts it miles down leg side. 2 Saha's might not be enough to stop that one.

Maybe he can win a race for us!

What if Ishant is made to run 10,000 metres' races, will he stop bowling no balls or nearly no balls #WIvInd

Make it count this time!

Dear Rohit Sharma, learn something from Bhuvi, he got very few opportunities to play for India in Tests, he didn't miss any.

You won't get a better chance Rohit Sharma. Make this count.

Come on Ro-HIT!

The ODI version of Rohit Sharma on display at St. Lucia.

The Best at the moment!

Bhuvneshwar has played in 2 countries outside India and has taken a 5-for in his first innings in both the countries - Eng & WI. #WIvIND

Glimpse of a Hit Man?

Rohit Sharma so kind that he scores some runs at this time of night to ensure trollers don't feel bad watching him score. #WIvIND

Clearly not the way!

Guess Miguel Cummins explaining how not to appeal. #WIvIND pic.twitter.com/Aa3eEZJIkm

Too many Brutus!

Poor Bhuvi. Trying to get a 5-fer while competing against KL Rahul, Rohit & Ishant Sharma, and now the umpire too.

Ouch ! This comment would hurt him!
